Well, I've managed to lose the camera. It' s probably in Toledo, where it's gotten to who knows where. So the blog has been light on posting, as I'm a visual kind of person.
Anyway, you've gotta see the herbs...and the jalepeno pepper plant I bought a few months ago is huge. I picked the first one today, it went into a marinade for steak. Shaunn has never seen me jump around like a little kid fanning my lips, but that's what he got when I took the first slice from it. But they're so god, I had 2 more before adding them to the marinade. Shaunn can't eat anything that has ever been within 40 miles of spicy, so mine is sequestered to a far corner of the fridge inside a hermetically sealed container.
We're taking our first bona fide vacation in years next week. We're going to my Uncle Preston's beach house in Long Island NY with Madre, Cate Don and little Geo. My grandparents bought the house around 1940 for a song, and it's been the family getaway ever since. A week of lounging and watching the waves. I can't wait!
